One more thing:  Bring a Credit Card !

Not only because everything is expensive but because there is very small population in Iceland so they don't have enough personal to put in every paying point and the Plastic is their solution.

Fuel station , for example, are always not populated.

You can not go in the blue Lagoon Naked,

 

You can walk down the main drag naked if you like. Nudity is not the really forked up issue it is in the US. The Blue Lagoon has seen better days and there is a similar pool nearby. Having lived in Scandihoovia for a decade, Icelandic women are no more beautiful than say, Danes, Norwegians, or Swedes.

 

And yes, carrying an extra gas can with you is important as if you are going exploring, you may get into a situation where the next gas station is very far away. I always try to keep at least a half tank out in the sticks. It’s a bit like driving in the Mojave Desert.

 

As for 4WD, yeah, I drove the roads in a VW too, but when I needed to get ‘places’ I turned it in for a 4WD which as I recall was a Toyota.
